Comic Picks By The Glick

Comic Picks #355: Die 25.11.2021 24:40 ↓

Gillen & Hans' series is where RPG storytelling gets dark as it gets examined, and not necessarily for the better.

Rob is back to help me decide if this gala is worth attending.

Comic Picks #353: Superman/Action Comics by Bendis 28.10.2021 30:24 ↓

Do a lot of great little moments make up for a lack of an overall direction in this run?

Cap gets political again, with disappointing results.

Comic Picks #351: Seven to Eternity by Remender and Opena 30.09.2021 27:59 ↓

Remender grinds another of his protagonists down, but in some interesting and beautifully-rendered ways.

Myron joins me again to talk about this historic "Venom" run and the event series which capped it off.

Comic Picks #349: Invisible Kingdom by Wilson and Ward 02.09.2021 27:01 ↓

This sci-fi space opera allegory about Amazon, organized religion and the people caught in between has its moments, but whiffs it in the end.

Comic Picks #348: The Green Lantern by Morrison and Sharp 19.08.2021 27:40 ↓

How crazy is "too crazy" for a series from Morrison?  I've got your answer right here.

Comic Picks #347: Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates 05.08.2021 29:53 ↓

The famed writer's first comics' work starts slow, but gets much better when it takes to the stars.

Manga's most Stephen King-esque series gets its most Stephen King-esque arc yet.

Comic Picks #344: Outcast by Kirkman & Azaceta 24.06.2021 26:28 ↓

Does the series with the slowest burn in comics finally catch fire at its end?

Comic Picks #343: Wonder Woman -- Earth One 10.06.2021 22:43 ↓

Morrison and Paquette's reinvention of the character is a good one -- provided you make it to the end.

Comic Picks #342: Buried Treasures of Manga -- Me and the Devil Blues 27.05.2021 25:52 ↓

A flawed-but-fascinating take on a legendary bluesman from one of the last creators you'd expect!

Comic Picks #341: Dark Nights -- Death Metal 13.05.2021 31:30 ↓

Follows on from this .  It's an improvement, but is it a significant one?

Comic Picks #340: Jim Henson's Labyrinth 29.04.2021 23:26 ↓

Spurrier + Henson + Bowie = Greatness...?

Comic Picks #339: West Coast Avengers -- Vision Quest 15.04.2021 25:18 ↓

You're better off enjoying "WandaVision" on its own terms than checking out this key story that inspired it.

Sorrentino's art elevates Lemire's mediocre storytelling.

Comic Picks #335: Ping Pong by Taiyo Matsumoto 18.02.2021 30:01 ↓

This is the best manga I've read from Matsumoto.  Does that mean it's actually good?

Comic Picks by the Glick #334: Cosmic Marvel According to Donny Cates 04.02.2021 46:50 ↓

The good, the bad, and the "What the hell did he do to Frank Castle?" of Cate's cosmic comics.
